Luckily, I think the fact that most of the "army" just aren't demonstrating much intelligence. lThe tRump thumbprint is all over the tepid response.?

On the eve of the assault on the Capitol, Flynn delivered an incendiary speech riddled with falsehoods, claiming that more dead voters had cast ballots for Biden than filled the cemeteries of Gettysburg and Normandy.??He then issued a veiled threat to members of Congress. ¡°Those of you who are feeling weak tonight, those of you who don¡¯t have the moral fiber in your body ¡ª get some tonight because tomorrow we the people are going to be here,¡± Flynn said.
